Orthotics

Orthotics are custom-made in-shoe devices individually prescribed to optimise foot function in the treatment and prevention of foot and lower limb complaints. Several factors determine the way in which an orthotic is made for each person. For orthotics to obtain an optimal outcome they need to be professionally prescribed and 100% comfortable.

Orthotics Benefits

Orthotics help by redistributing the load you place on your feet and optimising foot and lower limb posture. By reducing the load placed on muscles, tendons & joints created by poor foot posture and function, professionally prescribed orthotics have been well documented to help treat pain and injury, reducing long term damage to the feet and legs
